The Outlaw Josey Wales FTW.

Uhhh, sure, just don’t ask him how he feels about the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Back in 2000 he called lawyers who took on ADA lawsuits ”morally corrupt.”  Right, morally corrupt for suing on behalf of a disabled person who was accusing Eastwood of violating a law that protects the rights of the disabled?
Oh yeah, those ADA lawyers are real horrible people.  
/sarcasm
Clint Eastwood may be a brilliant filmmaker but he’s a huge fucking douchebag.  I refuse to watch his films and I lose respect for actors who work with/for him because they don’t seem to mind working for a guy who still thinks the disabled should have no right to not pee their pants in his restaurant (which would you respect more human rights or “the heritage and antique value”?).
I was really surprised that Leonardo DiCaprio would appear in one of his films.  Leo is supposed to be a conscientious guy and he isn’t aware of Hillary Swank’s fate in “Million Dollar Baby”? 
Full disclosure, the “morally corrupt” lawyer who sued him back in 2000 is my father-in-law.  But I’m preeeeetty sure that doesn’t make me unfairly biased toward the rights of the disabled. ;)

About:

The idea is that all of human society is based on a power structure that enslaves the trusting/ignorant and rewards the greedy and the dishonest. From government, to business to our individual lives, all of our actions are tailored to further support a system that exploits all of us and wastes our lives in the process. Website666.com endeavors to explain how. Shape-shifting lizards aren't running the world, but they might as well be. Only a sociopath would think they deserve to run things.
